Dial diameter query.
Hi I am looking for some help, I am looking redial my Tudor and would like to know what diameter dial will work with my watch, the watch in question is a 34mm oyster date with a 2484 caliber movement, will a 30mm dial work or should I use a smaller dial like a 28mm. I know the pins wont match the movement but I am unable to find the specific dial so unfortunately I will have to go the Franken route.

They come along on Ebay. I would suggest waiting until one shows up on Ebay or even better, post a WTB here and on VRF. Probably more than a few sitting in people's watch drawers.
I am not against using a redial when needed because the proper dial is unobtanium but you should be able to find the correct one for your piece. What reference is your watch? https://www.google.com/search?q=tudo...h=684&dpr=1.36 https://www.google.com/search?q=tudo...w=1408&bih=684
